MT. LAUREL, N.J.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--PHH Corporation (NYSE: PHH) today announced that there will be no impact to the overall capacity under the existing terms of any of its funding arrangements from the ratings actions taken by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") on February 11, 2009. S&P lowered its ratings on the Company, including its counterparty credit rating, to 'BB+/B' from 'BBB-/A-3' and maintained a negative outlook on the Company.

Borrowings under the Company's $1.3 billion Amended & Restated Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Facility dated January 6, 2006 ("Revolving Credit Facility") are subject to interest based on quoted benchmark rates plus a margin and a facility fee, all of which are based on PHH's senior debt ratings as determined by S&P, Moody's Investor Services and Fitch Ratings. As a result of the Company's current senior debt ratings, PHH's margin over the benchmark rate and its facility fee under the Revolving Credit Facility have increased from 47.5 basis points to 70 basis points and from 15 basis points to 17.5 basis points, respectively.
